GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 21 • QF1: CZE (4) - FIN (3) F/SO

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Good one Luukkonen. No rebound.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Also do they decide it in the shootout if no one scores? That would be the ultimate anticlimax.

Yep.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I think that here on extra-time there is more open space in the rink, which should help to benefit our skilled young Finnish lions. Looking good this far!

 

[chauron]

OH SO CLOSE

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

How are other teams goalies able to make difficult saves?

We should expect our goalie to only the save the easy ones/basic ones. We completely dominated the 60.

If we have this low expectations for our goalie maybe we should have similar for other players and be excited they scored 3?

OR MAYBE WE f***ING SCORE MORE THAN 3 IN A GAME WE ARE UTTERLY DOMINATING? [MOD]

 

[chauron]

Refs lost the whistle

 

[DFF]

Lol at people blaming Luukkonen on this "situation". A pp goal, breakaway and a redirectioned shot: goalie is to blame. Yeah, k. How about we finish our chances, we've had plenty.

Apparently you just expect a pylon in goal.

A championship team needs a goalie that can make more than standard saves

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

That's a good non-call considering how in the end of regulation they didn't call a holding call to FIN on a breakaway

 

[Woodhouse]

No call on that tired CZE defender, heh.

 

[BB88]

OR MAYBE WE ****ING SCORE MORE THAN 3 IN A GAME WE ARE UTTERLY DOMINATING? [MOD]

Scoring is an issue, but acting like goaltending isn't is a huge????

How the hell can other goalies make tough saves, explain it please.
Cze has had like 4 chances in this game, and have scored 3.

 

[JLarucci23]

Joker is gonna win it for the Fins.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

So if you can't save an accurate shot on PP, breakaway and a redirectioned shot = a pylon?

 

[Esko6]

Finland has beenbso unlucky too.

 

[Satans Hockey]

They really should switch sides for these overtimes to get the longer line changes to create more scoring chances. The less shootouts the better.

 

[Kaos Kommando]

Refs lost the whistle

They don't want to decide this game.

 

[kudymen]

Refs lost the whistle

Swallowed it sometime during the first period

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

So if you can't save an accurate shot on PP, breakaway and a redirectioned shot = a pylon?

Way to miss a point. He isn't saying every chance like that needs to be saved. Luukkonen hasn't had a game saver in any of his games.

How many "tough" saves Kronerar has had in this game? Anyways, this kind of a game is always a nightmare for goalies = not a whole lot of shots, but every one of them is dangerous.

 

[DaJackal]

Please no shootout. Please no shootout.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

They don't want to decide this game.

Which also decides the game to the more undisciplined side, since they can commit penalties.. without penalties.
It's a flawed way of reffing, but at least if nothing gets called, the precedent is that the better team wins which can adjust to that

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

I can't see us winning a shootout. This sucks.

 

[ijuka]

Probably 5 times more than Luukkonen?

Watching the game helps, you wouldn't need to ask these questions. See the Kuokkanen save just a while ago for an example.

 

[De Montreal]

Ikonen is invisible or injured?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Shots 54-25ish and some are defending Luukkonen by saying 'Oh but Korenar hasn't made that many high danger saves''
but he has literally had twice more saves than Luukkonen.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Czechs have so much trouble getting the puck out of the defensive zone, even when they're not under pressure
